A Discussion with Professor Zackary Lockman
Beyond Israel/Palestine: Turmoil in the Middle East

Join us on May 5 as we hear from Professor Zachary Lockman on the current situation in the Middle East, including the rise of democratic movements, the influence of global powers and competition over resources. He will also discuss the ways in which Israel and Palestine both influence and are affected by conflicts in the rest of the region.
